Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Muhammad fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Jabbar Muhammad slide 42 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Every board in the league had Limmer lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered. The back end got a real overhaul.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cooper DeJean at Round 1, Pick 21 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick53 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 53 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at the 85th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick121 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
No edge and no loss on Leonard Taylor III in pick 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
They paid up for Miles Frazier at slot 199 when waiting would have done the job. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad in the 242nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
